I think #8 might have more impact if it were in B&W, just my 2 cents :). Good moments captured in #8 and #9 :)

Hi there, I think you have quite a blessed gift/talent of using the camera to capture the raw emotions of the people. It feels as if you felt that kind of emotions your subjects were undergoing and used the camera to capture those priceless moments. There is a certain intimacy one feels with...

Hi all, Thanks so much for all the *pillow talk* :). I bought so many pillows in Shanghai and in Singapore until my mum got quite scared whenever I bring back another one. I've even tried lying down on mattresses in the big department stores like Metro/OG/Sea Horse just to try out the pillow...

Hi all, Been having neck problem for some time and I've been looking high and low for a suitable pillow. Anyone can share where to buy those good support pillow (preferably with contour) and priced affordably? i.e no Tempur for me (about SGD 200) cos I think there are more value for money...

Hi, I think Shanghai is good (I personally like walking down the old streets of Puxi to shoot pictures). I have not been to Suzhou, but it's less than 1 hour by train and it's very easy to take a train to Suzhou. Been to Hangzhou and really like Xi Hu (West Lake). Note that Hangzhou and Suzhou...

It's really sad to hear of such news. I personally know of 2 friends who committed suicide while in the prime of their lives. I think it's really important to stay accountable to friends or someone you are comfortable with during difficult times. Was in Hong Kong a while ago where they broadcast...

I agree with Verticoastro and Dannbt really...would advise all new DSLR owners to try with their kit lens to find out what they need before committing to more purchases. I held my wallet back, bit back my impulses and lugged my 350D to Qingdao and Hangzhou and kept shooting. By doing so, I...

Hey thanks for the speedy response. I have another friend who might be going Osaka soon, see whether can lombang to check this out for me. I have a 350D that's why am keen on the lens and yes f2.8 and IS are super attractive to me. However heavy lens is a turnoff though. I lugged my 350D + kit...

Hi Terence, may I know which shop did your friend buy this lens from in HK? Might ask a friend to help me buy too. How is the lens? Heavy? I seem to recall that this comes with IS but maybe I remembered wrongly. Thanks!

Wow, many thanks for your helpful suggestions :). Actually I think backpack may be better for the shoulders but I have a not so good experience as my backpack was nearly pickpocketed in City Hall mrt station a few years back if not for a gallant passer-by. So slightly hesitant to get a backpack...

Hi, I'm a newbie who has recently invested in a 350D. Would like to purchase a bag (Crumpler?) as I intend to bring it along with me for when I travel. Just wondering what bags do you use to house your 350D? Would be brilliant too if you could let me know the price too. The intended bag should...

Hi, I'm also interested to know more about EF-S 17-85mm for travel (sorry to side track a bit here! :)) I've actually tried it yesterday at AP and really liked the IS and the range for travelling BUT just a bit concerned about the following: - loss of f-stop (f4) - getting too dependent on...

Hi, asking this on behalf of a friend who will be renovating her home soon. She is looking for a company/person who does artistic murals (must be good!) on the walls of her home. If you have the contact of the person/company, appreciate greatly if you could share with me, thanks very much! :)

Hi does anyone know whether is help still needed at SPH or other places? I just called NVPC (national volunteer and philanthropy centre) today and they said there were sufficient volunteers so I only left my name and no :). Thanks!
